[BOARD GAME] The National Yacht Race.

Ballarat and Melbourne : National Game Co., [between 1912 and 1915?]. “Copyright no. 2607”. Thin board with original cloth backstrip, 310 x 480 mm, folding; chromolithographed game board in red, blue, yellow and black; pictorial onlaid title label to outer board; an extremely god example.

This appears to be an early version of the Yacht Race game. Not only are the graphics entirely different to those in later versions, but the small life ring featured in the National Game Company trademark device actually bears the date 1912.
